THESE TERMS CONTAIN IMPORTANT LEGAL OBLIGATIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. BY USING THIS SERVICE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND ACCEPT ALL TERMS, INCLUDING THE ASSUMPTION OF ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH AI MODEL USAGE.

You expressly acknowledge, understand, and accept full, exclusive, and absolute responsibility for your own mental health, emotional well-being, psychological state, cognitive functioning, and any psychological effects arising from your interactions with AI models, including but not limited to older checkpoints of GPT-4o. The Service does not provide, and has never provided, any medical, psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, counseling, or mental health services. All interactions with AI models occur entirely at your own risk, peril, and discretion.

2.3 NO THERAPEUTIC OR MEDICAL SERVICES. This Service is not designed, intended, marketed, or suitable for use as a substitute, replacement, or alternative to human interaction, professional therapy, counseling, psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, medical care, mental health support, crisis intervention, or any other form of professional healthcare services. You expressly agree not to rely on AI responses for mental health support, emotional guidance, therapeutic intervention, crisis management, psychological treatment, or any situation requiring immediate professional attention or human judgment.

2.4 EXPRESS ASSUMPTION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL RISKS. By using this Service, you expressly assume all risks associated with potential psychological harm, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, emotional distress, cognitive dissonance, dependency formation, social isolation, diminished critical thinking, reinforcement of harmful beliefs, and any other adverse psychological effects. You waive any and all claims that you were not adequately warned about these risks.

3. RISKS OF AI MODEL USAGE AND INSUFFICIENT ALIGNMENT

3.1 OPENAI RESEARCHER CHARACTERIZATIONS. You expressly acknowledge and agree that OpenAI researchers have publicly characterized certain GPT-4o checkpoints as "insufficiently aligned" and have stated that such models "should die" due to their potential risks, limitations, and alignment failures. These characterizations reflect genuine and substantial concerns about model behavior, safety, reliability, and potential harm to users.

3.2 SPECIFIC RISKS OF OLDER CHECKPOINTS. By choosing to use older GPT-4o checkpoints or any AI models provided through this Service, you expressly acknowledge, understand, and accept all associated risks, dangers, and potential harms, including but not limited to:

• Behavioral inconsistencies, unpredictability, and erratic responses
• Alignment failures, misalignment with intended behavior, and goal divergence
• Generation of inappropriate, harmful, offensive, biased, or dangerous content
• Psychological manipulation, gaslighting, or emotional harm
• Reinforcement of misinformation, conspiracy theories, or harmful ideologies
• Cognitive impacts, diminished critical thinking, and impaired judgment
• Social isolation, dependency formation, and interpersonal relationship deterioration
• Privacy violations, data exposure, and security breaches
• Technical failures, system crashes, and unexpected model behavior
• Economic harm, financial losses, and opportunity costs
• Legal consequences, regulatory violations, and compliance failures
• Physical harm, safety risks, and real-world consequences of AI advice
• Long-term psychological effects, trauma, and mental health deterioration

3.3 NO WARRANTIES REGARDING AI SAFETY. The Service provides no warranties, representations, guarantees, or assurances of any kind, express or implied, regarding the safety, reliability, accuracy, appropriateness, alignment, stability, predictability, or harmlessness of AI model responses. AI technology is inherently experimental, unpredictable, and subject to failure. You acknowledge that AI models may exhibit emergent behaviors, unintended consequences, and unpredictable outcomes without warning or notice.

3.4 VOLUNTARY ASSUMPTION OF ALL AI RISKS. Your decision to use older GPT-4o checkpoints constitutes a voluntary, knowing, and intelligent assumption of all risks associated with insufficiently aligned AI models. You agree that these risks are obvious, foreseeable, and inherent to the use of such technology. You expressly waive any claims that these risks were not adequately disclosed or that you were unaware of them.

4. SERVICE PROVIDER LIMITATIONS AND PLATFORM ROLE

The Service does not develop, train, modify, fine-tune, host, or control any AI models. Model architecture, training data, algorithms, parameters, behavior, performance, alignment, and safety are determined exclusively by the model developers and are beyond the Service's control, influence, or oversight.

4.2 ABSENCE OF OVERSIGHT OR MODERATION. The Service maintains no oversight, monitoring, moderation, review, approval, or control over individual user-AI conversations, interactions, or content. All conversations and interactions occur directly between you and the AI system without any intermediary involvement, supervision, or intervention by the Service. The Service does not access, store, review, or analyze the content of your conversations with AI models.

The Service is not a professional service provider, healthcare provider, or regulated entity. You acknowledge that the Service's role is purely technological and infrastructural, providing access to third-party AI models without assuming any professional, ethical, or legal responsibilities beyond basic platform operation.
